Abstract

This Letter presents a simple technique for extracting the equivalent parameters of transmission‐line interconnects based on the finite‐difference–time‐domain (FDTD) method. The transmission line containing the discontinuity is divided into a set of uniform segments of short‐length line. Next, the parameters of each of these segments are extracted by substituting the FDTD solution into the telegrapher's equations. The accuracy of the method is comparing by the results with those derived via the method of moments (MoM). The equivalent circuit can be used in a SPICE simulator to predict the performance of interconnect with a view to enhancing the characterization and design of high‐speed digital circuits. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The slow wave effect can be obtained by a capacitively loaded structure with a symmetrical interdigital line connected on both sides of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) central line. The ferroelectric thin film with high dielectric constant can reduce the size of circuit and make it possible to realize
